don’t let me down

i just don’t know
pair of cord pants
and a bad attitude
hellbent on destruction
myself included
waiting for the next
moment of attack
upon me not by me
i’m hardly aggressive
except concerning
my own shortcomings
the words that flow
so freely
to an empty room
where little good
can come of it

I'm Briar – Briar Lawry, if you were wondering which particular one. Raw Library is an anagram of my name and a place for my writing – about anything, in theory, but mostly about books, the music industry and chronic illness. And sometimes coffee.
